For all Saints
splitting the apple of discord in the
garden of Hesperides.
So much bletted fruit,
wasted, discarded on the dewy
grass as dawn’s rays, like cheap tinsel,
stream careless across the sky.
Bunkered, resistant to change, time’s
tongue laps the salt tears of the years
whilst dragged over the rocks and crippled,
the summer ignites into autumn’s decay.
A state of Wintery dreamless sleep prevails in this solitude, a
reef of darkness, a veil besparked by stars. There is a long way to
go, but with this late November release, the sounds of dreams
hover with the lightness of a suggested aroma. This is the
darkening song before Christmas, or the pure white Mass or the
playing out of some forgotten artifice.
Recorded by Mark Browne
